Default C8 Owners Driving School Info request

Hi all, For any of those who have already been to the Ron Fellows driving school for the C8 owners. Can someone post or PM me a map of the road course track layout or any other course layouts we will be driving? I would like to do some studying and simulation runs before I get there. I attend this August. As a bonus if there are any other details that would be helpful please pass them along. Thanks in advance.

There are 3 different tracks there, you can call ahead and see which one you will be on it seems. I wouldn't worry tho, you get a ton of seat time on the track and a map to study at end of day 1, there is also a map in the classroom showing apex points, braking and balance zones. Wait to see what track you will be on and don't sweat it.

Also a lot of youtube videos out there showing them all.

Don’t worry about the track you’ll be on or simulations. Just go to the class and enjoy.

It's a 1.5 course with very tight turns and short straights. Plus a 30 second autocross. And 0-60 runs with launch control. Other fun stuff too.

Sounds like west track. East has long straights and less turns.

as above, don’t worry about it.

I think you have it backwards.
